FAQs

What size frame should I choose?

Refer to the size chart on the Vitus website or consult with a bike shop. Consider your height, inseam, and riding style when selecting the frame size.

Are the wheels tubeless-ready?

Yes, the wheels come with tubeless tape installed, and are compatible with tubeless tires. You'll need to add sealant.

What type of fork does the bike have?

The bike is equipped with a Rockshox Judy Silver TK fork offering 130mm of travel.

What kind of brakes does the bike use?

The Vitus Sentier uses Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power.

What kind of drivetrain does the bike have?

It features a Shimano Cues U6000 1x11 speed drivetrain.

Is the seatpost adjustable?

Yes, it has a KS 900i dropper post with 150mm/170mm drop (depending on size).

How do I clean the bike?

Use soap and water, avoiding high-pressure washers, and then apply bike-specific lubricant to the chain and moving parts.

Troubleshooting

Gears shifting poorly

Adjust the rear derailleur indexing using the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur. Check the derailleur hanger alignment.

Brakes feel spongy or weak

Bleed the brakes to remove air from the hydraulic system. Check brake pads for wear.

Tires losing air

Ensure the tires are properly seated on the rim and the sealant is fresh. Check for punctures and seal them as necessary.

Dropper post not working

Check the cable tension and the dropper post for any binding. Ensure the remote lever is working correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable 6061 alloy frame for rugged trails.
Modern geometry for confident handling.
Reliable Shimano Cues 1x11 drivetrain.
Dropper post for improved control on descents.
Tubeless-ready wheels for enhanced grip and puncture resistance.

Cons

Hardtail design may feel less forgiving on extremely rough trails compared to full-suspension bikes.
Requires more active riding style to manage impacts.
Component spec, while good, may not be top-tier for high-level competitive riding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly installed and tightened according to the manufacturer's specifications. If you're not comfortable, have a professional mechanic assemble your bike.
Tire Pressure: Adjust tire pressure based on your weight and trail conditions. Lower pressures provide more grip, while higher pressures reduce rolling resistance.
Dropper Post: Familiarize yourself with the dropper post operation. Ensure the remote lever is easily accessible and that the post moves smoothly.
Brakes: Check the brake levers for proper reach and adjust as needed.

Compatibility:

Frame: The frame uses a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) system, making it compatible with a wide range of drivetrains.
Wheels: The wheels are tubeless-ready, and the hub spacing is boost (148mm rear, 110mm front).
Components: The bike uses standard mountain bike components, making it easier to find replacements and upgrades.

Care:

Cleaning: Regularly clean your bike with soap and water, especially after muddy rides. Avoid using high-pressure washers, which can force water into bearings.
Lubrication: Keep the chain and other moving parts lubricated with appropriate bike-specific lubricants.
Inspection: Periodically inspect your bike for wear and tear. Check the brakes, tires, drivetrain, and frame for damage.
Servicing: Have your bike serviced by a professional mechanic periodically to ensure it's in top condition. This includes checking and adjusting the shifting, brakes, and suspension.
